The injured personnel have been evacuated to the hospital for medical treatment.

The third round of Pakistan-Afghanistan talks was held in Istanbul under the mediation of Turkiye and Qatar, following cautious optimism from previous rounds that had suggested a monitoring and verification mechanism could maintain peace. However, negotiations quickly stalled when Kabul unexpectedly introduced a new draft reversing prior agreements, triggering mistrust and ending the talks without a joint statement. Pakistan, led by Lt. Gen. Asim Malik, insisted on verifiable steps against anti-Pakistan groups, a binding religious decree forbidding holy war, dismantling of terrorist infrastructure, and an end to support from Afghanistan’s GDI and Haqqani network, in exchange for fully opening the border and facilitating trade. The Afghan delegation offered only broad religious guidance and denied the presence of armed groups, undermining proposals including a Joint Counter-Terrorism Mechanism (JCM) meant to enhance security, trade, and transparency. Mediators expressed frustration at Kabul’s reversals, leaving the talks at an impasse, though Pakistan’s offer remains open if verifiable commitments are reinstated. The Afghan government, via spokesperson Zabihullah, framed the TTP issue as longstanding since 2002 and noted prior efforts to facilitate peace talks, while historical agreements like the 2020 Doha Deal have been undermined by renewed use of Afghan soil by terrorist groups, leaving the future of bilateral negotiations uncertain.

A video circulating on militant channels shows armed men, with one individual speaking in Punjabi (i think) identifying himself as Muhammad Hussain Razvi from Lahore. He claimed affiliation with the Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan Force (TLPF), describing it as the militant wing of the far-right, Barelvi-populist political party TLP, and asserted that they are fighting for their rights.

The Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan Force (TLPF) first surfaced on November 2 as a shadow group of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), represented by a hoax spokesperson named Mumtaz Qadri. This emergence came after the TTP had ceased using its own name amid negotiations. The TLP, however, has not demonstrated any formal or operational ties to the TLPF and its appears to function primarily as a propaganda front of TTP aimed at attracting support and recruiting members from among TLP sympathizers.

Earlier, on October 26, the TTP released an official propaganda video featuring Abu Darda, a senior operative from South Punjab, addressing the TLP in Saraiki and urging its followers to join the TTP.

-🩺🇵🇰/🏳️: Violence against health workers during door-to-door polio campaigns in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has declined this year, improving vaccination coverage. Enhanced security measures have allowed vaccinators to reach previously inaccessible children, reducing missed doses due to parental refusal or unsafe areas.

Since 2012, attacks on polio teams in KP have killed 96 people, including 27 health workers and 61 policemen, injured 170, and involved multiple kidnappings. This year, better supervision and government support have enabled higher coverage, despite KP reporting 18 of the country’s 29 polio cases.

A recent Independent Monitoring Board report noted that southern KP remains a high-risk area, with 1.2 million children facing security constraints. The polio programme has classified regions into green, community-led, and black zones to target vaccination efforts effectively. Innovative strategies and stronger security have improved participation, while administrative actions are being taken against officials showing laxity in campaigns.

There has been a sudden surge in TTP militant activity in Bannu, an area recently, traditionally dominated by HGB-affiliated groups. Over the past few days, multiple large-scale TTP operations have been reported in the region. The TTP is also coordinating closely with HGB-linked factions in the aera.

Local sources report that the group is deploying significant numbers of fighters to Bannu from surrounding areas, including Bakakhail, Jani Khail, Lakki Marwat, and Waziristan. Additionally, a small contingent of militants who had remained in Afghanistan is now returning and regrouping in Bannu.

This increase in TTP presence is unusual for this period, as militant activity typically declines during winter. The sudden buildup has corresponded with a rise in clashes with Pakistani security forces, indicating a potential escalation in operational tempo.

Statement by Central Patron-in-Chief of Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP), Qazi Muhammad Mahmood Awan, regarding the circulating video:

Since yesterday, a video has been circulating on social media in which the individual speaking identifies himself as a worker of Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) and claims that it represents an armed group of the party, inviting others to join it.

We wish to make it absolutely clear that Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan is a peaceful political party and has no connection whatsoever with any such armed group.

The nation of Pakistan is the result of the tireless efforts of our forefathers. From 1857 to 2025, the Ahl-e-Sunnat community has made countless sacrifices for this God-given homeland—sacrifices that have no parallel in history.

Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan has no association or affiliation with any such video or organization.
